International Holocaust Remembrance Day in Jerusalem: January 27, 2027

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is honored every year on January 27 at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial and Museum. The museum hosts special tours, lectures, and other programs throughout the day. This day is honored in addition to Israel’s own Holocaust Remembrance Day, called Yom Hashoah, which typically falls in April or May.
